Oops I just sent my forms yesterday and I have used the old dependant form:( for my wife's application, though my application is the new one.

Anyone who has got away with using the old forms:(?

Congrats mate. You must have filed things really neatly to get such a fast result.

Wish you the best in the coming days!

Hi There, positivesolitude: like meats said it shudnt affect recorded/special delivery aaj123: There are couple of advantages of special delivery: 1) You can be assured you will get it delivered before 1pm, and can track it online. 2) I might be a shaky ground here, but I think the contents of speci...

Which bank card innocentdevil? I think we should really start calling you ID

Congrats mvent00. So when are you planning to fly to the UK?

I agree with Push, you have been a great help in solving some of my queries as well.

Thanks for your inputs folks.

As I posted earlier I decided to take the high road, and waited for the latest bank statement, which arrived today.

Will be sending my app with RM SD tomorrow morning.

Fingers crossed!!!

Thanks again guys!

I would say so too ID. How did you manage to get 3 points and 60 fine. I hear there is something like a speed awareness traning, which helps you avoid getting points on your licence, right?

Hi Chandu,

I do work in Cambridge. Please PM me if you need any advice.

Hi Amitagar, Unfortunately the section is not so clear about the fact that everyone who comes to H4 needs to skip to J1. There have been cases like yours where people have gone to H5 and then skipped to Section K. However, if you do that the form would be incomplete. Check this thread for one such c...

Hi Amitagar, Question H4. Has the main applicant applied to have his/her application assessed in accordance with paragraphs 39 - 42 of the HSMP Forum Ltd. Judicial Review Policy Document? Yes or No? The line below this says.....Now go to question J1 I think in both cases you should go to J1. I think...

Hi Nirmal, I am not one of the stalwarts on this but I will still try to answer whatever i can: 1. Page 11 - Question B10 - There is a field that says 'Home Office Reference number' right after 'Marital Status' . I am not sure what this is. [tab]B13 - PBS Migrant Reference number - no idea what this...

Good choice pal. I am applying sometime this week and will pay by cheque too as it is safer than credit/debit cards. A little less safe than banker's draft/postal order, but thats one risk I am willing to take as the latter cost a lot. Good luck with your application decision, I have heard September...

Hi Subhan,

Can I ask you about your mode of payment? By the timelines it looks like either a cheque or a banker's draft?

Regards

hi Smadupu, I have been quite concerned about the payment bit for sometime now. I have a couple of questions on your case: 1) Which credit card did you pay by? I mean which bank? 2) Did you try to inform the bank beforehand? 3) Did you attach a self addressed special delivery envelope? From my excha...

I agree gotcha. If anything can go wrong it will go wrong:). I am going to play safe and do everything the safe if slower way.

I was always Murphys favorite guinea pig:).

Thanks for all your inputs forum members, much appreciated.

Thanks Crowbar. This is getting increasingly frustating. Why cant the HO accept payments through post office or some such mechanism. Grrr. Anyways, along the same lines, the other issue I am facing is Lloyds is now troubling me for last month's bank statement. They seem to have sent across my statem...

Well my wife does have a credit card, but i read about similar issues with credit cards in the forum so was refraining from using it. Is it better to use a credit card instead? This was how I was planning to deal with the problem if I use a debit card: 1) First things first, call lloyds to inform t...

Just back from the bank. They say the branch does not have any say in what gets blocked and directed me to their fraud prevention cell. On speaking to them, they told me this funny thing that they cannot do anything till something gets blocked, and then they can unblock it. Its ridiculous. Now I can...

Thanks Crowbar for the optimism, its in scarcity nowadays:).

Yes let me go do my best at the bank:)

cheers

Thanks Crowbar.

Yes I think I am going to go to the bank personally and request the same in writing and then give them a couple of calls later to make sure my request has been registered in the system.

Its difficult to not be paranoid about this

Regards

Hi Forum, This is a day of shocks. First the news about the new form, and now I have heard that LLoyds tsb debit cards are known to be problematic when used for application fee payment for Tier1 extension. Well I was planning to apply tomorrow and have mentioned my lloyds tsb debit card details for ...

Hi Chandra, I might be on shaky ground here, but i think since your leave has now expired, you cannot make a fresh application from here. Instead you might have to go back to your country and apply for entry clearance. If it were a rejection because of some invalid or missing documentation you could...

So effectively we should be able to use all the form with only the page with this typo replaced, correct?

I will find out more about whats different and post it on the group soon.

I did not read it completely, if you did, please share your views. I am dabbling with some pdf diff tools to find the exact differences. Havent found anything substantial as of now apart from form version date changes. I think it is the same. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/application...
